charliesmumDuring the wedding reception two of Steve's (the groom)friends gave a sweet, if long-winded, speech about Steve and what great guy he was. My mother, feeling that Stephanie wasn't getting enough kudos during what is, let's face it, the bride's day, insisted I get up and say something as well. So I did, and said something hopefully sweet and touching, and while I was talking, Charlie came over and stood in front of me. When I finished, he reached for the microphone, I handed it to him, even knowing he could well break into a rendition of "Landlord" but apparently he wanted to make a speech too.
"Hello, my name is Charlie," he said in a loud, clear voice, "I know it's not Thanksgiving anymore...that was November. Now it is Christmas, and it was in November, but now it is December. December 12th. We're in Las Vegas!"
His speech got the biggest applause. The consensus was his was the best speech of the evening.
I promised cuteness meltdown with a photo of Charlie in his suit, so hopefully I won't dissapoint. And even if the sight of Charlie doesn't melt your heart, his 22 month old cousin will.
And of course, it's not Vegas without an Elvis Impersonator.
And finally, for a touch of wimsy, here's the wedding cake:
